Hi all, I am a guy who has been through 2 years of college, so far. I am changing from the business major to nursing. I know I will have to go back and re-do some school work, and am at my local community college right now. I don't really have any science classes done at all yet I was just curious what are the steps I should take, (this is what I'm thinking) Spring Semester -Take some general education classes, get a biology done, cross relationships anthropology, complete the english classes I need. -Summer Just take the CNA course. After I take the class is there any test that I have to take? -Fall Take some more science and general education classes, and either apply the the associates nursing program in the fall and spring. Is this how I should do it? I don't want to go out of the way, but I heard this path might be better than jumping right into a university program, where it costs a lot more money. After the CNA, should I stay at the community college and get my associates in nursing?

Hello all, I am a guy who has been in college for 2 years so far and was originally planning on majoring in business. After taking some business classes I have decided that it isn't the major for me. I like to help people and I have come in decision to two careers either NurseTeachingI am leaning more to the nursing and would like some advice on why I should choose it over teaching. Also, if I do decide the nursing I know it will take more school, but I don't want to be longer than necessary. My community college I am at now offers a Nurse Assistant Certificate, then associates certificate. Would I benefit from doing that, or should I just finish another year all my general educations classes? Then go to a university get a degree in nursing (I don't really have any science at all so far) however i have done english and psychology. Since i have already been in school 2 years, is going the assistant and associate path out of the way? If I go to a university isn't a nursing program only 2 years so instead of an associate's I would be an RN with a degree already? I don't even know if you need a Nursing Assistant Certificate or associates before getting the degree This is the part I am really confused about if I decide on doing it.
